^ Yup. That's what mum would do every Shrove Tuesday.

I treated myself to some kippers...



Very nice they were too.

Is that an arab wrap you served it on ?

Yep. Just butter is good too, or whipped cream and jam.

Hmm, interesting...I grew up knowing 'em as "pannenkoeken", at least that's what my Plautdietsch speaking pops called 'em.

Being all uneducated, I'd call them French crepes. France, where all the best Brit food originated from...

Is this a valid representation of an English pancake?



Looks like enchiladas without the filling and cheese to me...

Here's another version(English Breakfast Pancakes) from Waitrose:



English Breakfast Pancakes

Different parts of England have different ideas on English pancakes?

This one below is the traditional style English pancake, and it's usually made at home, but you can get other kinds of pancake in the UK, like the ones Shrewed Punter posted in reply 395. You can buy those in packs at supermarkets.




Tesco are calling the ones below "Scotch pancakes".



Kingsmill just call them pancakes on the packaging but Tesco describe them as Scotch pancakes their website.



Birdseye also just call them pancakes

I'd almost call most of those packaged things "pikelets" because of their thickness, but they're a bit large in diameter.
Pikelets are thicker than pancakes (and much smaller radius). Basically the same batter, but pancake batter as per the "English pancake" top photo, is much thiner and thus the batter spreads out producing a thin "cake" but not quite as thin as a crepe.

I didn't realise anyone used the term 'pikelet' outside of my native Black Country in the UK's West Midlands.

In that area it is absolutely nothing like a pancake, English or otherwise, but a thicker version of a crumpet.

They use all sorts of terms for the mass produced garbage pictured, of course.

As opposed to referring to a young Irish traveler.

Pancakes as I know them...

^Truly a thing of beauty, with either Maple syrup or honey. But most certainly with enough butter to make your Cardiologist put a deposit on his 3rd European luxury car .

My breakfast this morning, along with a Banana and coffee. Enough energy in it to get thru 18 holes of golf without feeling weak or hungry.

Or make them yourself, the wife makes great pancakes. I had a student do an English camp in Canada who brought me a big bottle of syrup back.

Exactly, there's a special magic that happens when the melding of the butter and maple syrup occurs.

^ They sure aren't English pancakes, as DrBob said, they're American style pancakes.

A little thicker and they could be drop scones.

Crêpes are similar to English pancakes but thinner and are best served with caramel sauce (a speciality of Brittany)

As opposed to the Thai crepes with fluffy pork, sliced sausage, jelly drops, chocolate sauce and quails egg. Cooked till crispy and rolled into a cone.
